There's lots of advice to be given in
regard to the care ofthe eyes, remark
ed an oculist yesterday. land SO much
has been said and written on the sub
ject that it scarcely seems worth while
to say anything more. There's one
thing, however, that I've never heard
mentioned, and that is in regard to trav-
cling. When man is on train he al
most invariably looks at the landscape
through the window nearest him. This
is great mistake both for physiologic-
al and aesthetic reasons. In travelling
at the rate Of forty miles an hour objects
present themselves to the sight in rapid
succession, and in order to look at them
the pupilo of the eye has to undergo very
rapid changes. For instance, when
you see house mile away the pupil
is contracted. Now, in travelling. you
turn your attention first to an object a
mile distant, and next perhaps, to one
twenty feet from the car. The change
is made almost instantly, and the pupil
does not have time to dilate or expand,
as the case may be. Now, if you look
through window on the side of the
car opposite from where you are sitting
you will find that this does not occur.
The different objects in the landscape
blend and spread out intoa slowly NOV.
ing panorama instead of being rapidly
whirled past your eyes, You get =
much better view and have the comfort
of knowing that it has no bad effect up
on your sight,

An old gentleman who was on init
mate terms at the White House dur
ing the war, said to the Telegram cor
respondent to-day; Stories about Mr..
Lincoln are plenty enough, but, will
tell you one which can vouch for as
being true, and which as far as my
knowledge is concerned, has never
been in print. One of Mr.. Lincoln's
most esteemed friends was ex-Gov.
Tod, of Ohio. He was quaint old
character, and Lincoln loved him for
his honesty, ability and native shrewd-
ness. At one time he thought of Mr..
Tod in connection with the secretary
ship of the treasury. but afterward he
gave him foreign mission. One even
ing when Mr.. Tod was in town Mr..
Lincoln invited him over to the White
House. They had long chat together,
when Mr.. Lincoln finally said:-.Look
here, Tod; how is it you spell your
name with only one d? married a
Todd, but she spelled her name with
two DIS. All of her relatives do the
same. You are the first Tod l ever
met who spelled his name with SO few
letters
Tod looked at Mr.. Lincoln in his
peculiarly quizzing manner and then
replied: Mr.. President, God spells
his name with only one d, and what is
good enough for God is good enough
for me-
mir. Lincoln used to repeat the
story TO some of his most intimate
friends, and every time he did SO, ht
would laugh until the tears ran dowr
over that furrowed but grand face"

1t was customary for the corps of
cadets to devote several weeks each
spring to artillery drill, General Jack
son commanding the battalion. We
had a four-gun battery; the carriages
and caissons were trim and light; the
pieces six pounds caliber. The cadets
managed them by hand with ease and
dexterlty. At one of the drills, ca
Diet whose name | forbear to mention,
became offended at Major Jackson,
and when he thought he was unob-
served, the Majors back being turned
towards him, he threw brickbat at
him with all his strength. The Major
did notice the cowardly act. The next
morning, when Major Jackson was
coming to his classroom, he had to
pass Immediately under the windows
of the barracks. This same cadet
sought to crafty his base, cowardly
nature by throwing a brickbat down
upon him from the window of room
on the fourth stoop.
Again he failed to notice the act,
although the brick came near striking
him. He passed on without looking
up. OF course, such conduct was con
demned by the cadets, some of whom
were cognizant of both acts. At last
the professors heard of it, and one
asked Major Jackson why he did not
seek to discover the miscreant and re-
port him. He replied: ''The truth is,
l did not want to know that we had
such a coward in the corps of cadets"
He was proud of the corps of cadets
and sought by precept and example
to impress the very humblest with
high sense of honor and true courage.

A Christmns Elonement.

1t was the night before Christmas.
Approaching a mansion, Aubrey
Montcalm grasped his mule by the
ears and brought him under a second
story window. Much silence was "
ing round about, mixed with darkness.
Aubrey gave whistle in low voice
The window above went slowly up,
and the owner of head put 1t out.
Then came a voice like the music Of
the spheres when they CRATE together:
Aubrey IS that you and the
mule?"
Darling Vinetta, it is us. Hurry
up, and climb down this mules ears;
mount behind, and we will cross the
line into Indiana and matrimony
First, reach me down your little bun
die. Don't make it large"
He dismounted and caught:
1. A hat, done up in a newspaper;
2. A bundle in shawl strap;
3. Another bundle in shawl-strap;
4 A cord bound hand basket;
5. A stuffed red band-box;
6. A stuffed blue band-box;
Z. A large bundle, rope-bound;
s. a well-fed carpet sack;
9. Another band-box;
10. A well-grown valise.
As one end of trunk protruded
out of the window above him Aubrey
jumped aside and exclaimed: "Dear-
est Vinetta, what are you going to do
with all this household furniture?n
"Why, / want to take something
along"
"Well, darling, we won't be gone
more than one day; besides / did not
bring a railroad truck. How are we
to freight these across the line? You
need no baggage. [ have only an ex
ira paper collar"
Aubrey, you are Just beginning to
get acquainted with woman How
can she travel without little baggage?

He had fallen across the pile in a
swoon. On recovering, he said: "Pre-
cious, these cannot go via mule"
But they must go. l insist"
1T is utterly impossible"
Then, Aubrey, the procession can't
